therapy pool

Rehabilitation swimming basin

A therapy pool is a pool designed for physical rehabilitation, exercise, or treatment rather than recreation.

Typically smaller and warmer than standard swimming pools, therapy pools allow patients to perform exercises with reduced joint stress, aided by water's buoyancy: The clinic's therapy pool helps patients recover from knee surgery.

Also called a hydrotherapy pool.
